First I would like to say I am not a expert,from the post about your lake I probably would work the top of the flats but would search in the areas of the flats where deep water is handy, weed lines are nice to in these areas I like to call it summer time fishing morning time look at the top of flats close to deep water as the sun gets higher and the heat of the day gets hotter progress to deeper water in these same areas where the morning catching started the day, food source and water temps do play a part in the summer time patterns, try to not forget that crappies can and do suspend in deep water you may find some time that a controlled deep to be the key to get them to the frying pan. I started fishing for crappies with my dad in the 60's I still fish for them even today there is one thing that I am sure of they can test your patience but the one thing I would not trade is the many hours on the water fishing with dad and learning about crappies and there habits, be ready for the learning curve
